Kelp DAO is currently evaluating three potential solutions to address the rsETH incident, according to an analysis by DefiLlama founder 0xngmi on the X platform. According to PANews, the first option involves distributing the losses among all users, resulting in an 18.5% devaluation for each user. The second option would concentrate the losses on rsETH holders in the L2 market, with Aave using its treasury to assist mainnet users while abandoning the L2 market. The third option suggests using a pre-attack snapshot to return assets to holders, compensating only for the portion borrowed by the hacker, although this approach is highly complex.

South Korea is considering deploying its existing anti-piracy unit in the Middle East to join a multinational naval coalition following the end of the Iran conflict. According to Odaily, this move aims to ensure the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

On April 20, Jin10 reported that a research paper titled 'User Guide to Reducing the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet' was recently published by Fed Governor Milan and three other economists. According to Jin10, the structure of this paper bears similarities to the previously discussed 'User Guide to Restructuring the Global Trade System.' The paper challenges the conventional view that the Federal Reserve faces difficulties in significantly reducing its balance sheet. It argues that reserve requirements are largely determined by the regulatory environment and suggests that adjustments to the regulatory framework, suppression of precautionary motives, and other sources of reserve demand could enable balance sheet reduction without causing unexpected market pressure. The potential reduction space, estimated using Monte Carlo simulations, ranges from $1.2 trillion to $2.1 trillion. The report suggests that the 'balance sheet reduction guide' has some practical feasibility, although certain options may be overly idealistic.
